2020 Village Festival Cancelled

31 March 2020

Because of the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus and with severe restrictions on public gatherings likely to continue for some time, with great regret the Board of the CQUniversity Village Festival has been obliged to cancel this year’s event. We are working to secure ongoing support from our three institutional sponsors, CQUniversity, Tourism and Events Queensland and Livingstone Shire Council.

We offer our sincere regrets to those artists to whom we had offered spots on the Festival program. We understand all too well the impact of the loss of forward bookings and uncertainty about your future. We will contact individually those artists, stallholders and suppliers who have been in touch with us to date. The dates for the 2021 Festival are Friday 6 August to Sunday 15 August and we’re keen to lock in those artists identified for this year if you’re available and keen.

In the meantime, to all supporters of the Festival, look after yourselves and your loved ones and we’ll see you, bigger and better, in 2021!
